Hi,

I'm trying to create a content page that list data from a database (eg. daily reports), however I dint know how to go about doing something like that. The add content items in joomla only allow posting of text but not php coding.

I'm new to joomla and php in general and i hope someone could point me in the correct direction. Thanks.

do u know about Joomla plugins? I think thats what your looking for. It would allow u to add things (like daily reports) in an article without actually adding php code. you would have to get familiar with plugins though..

I might be wrong but I have the impression that you already have the necessary php code.

If so, I know that there are modules in the Joomla Extensions directory (5th menu item from the left above) in which you can drop your php which will then display in a module position (one of them is Mod PHP). There also is a solution somewhere (I think it is a mambot in the Extensions directory) which enables you to publish modules in content items. With these together you can probably pretty much forget about anything but your own php code. So then it is a matter of finding (or writing) the right code to do the job.

If you do not already have the necessary php code you can look in the extensions directory to see if someone has already made what you need. Moreover, using the above module and mambot combination you can also browse php script libraries to find what you need.
